August 13, 2013 // 2:05 pm - Following up on his previous revision, today PlayStation 3 developer wborland0 has updated PS3 Game List Manager to version v2.3 for Windows x64 alongside Linux and MAC users with the changes below.

To quote from his blog: Another application update, bringing PS3 Game List to v2.3. The main highlight is the support for PSARC archive extraction. The feature was lingering over the request list for a long time, and it is finally implemented. Users can retire other extracting apps from their library, as PS3GL extracts data even faster than Sony’s official implementation!

Also, there is a new trophy tab, for those interested in learning all about the selected game’s challenges (trophy ID, type, name, detail, hidden status and avatar). Trophy information will be loaded according to the language selected by the user, and can be extracted as well.

Additionally, Linux and MacOS ports for v2.3 are provided, just like old times, although I cannot really guarantee future support. A whole lot of work and much underappreciation from the users, even for the Windows version.

Anyways, feel free to suggest something new, and, if you happen to find any bugs, please report them as well.

PS3 Game List change-log and features:

v2.3

Support for PSARC (compressed files used to store game resources like textures, audio and video data) archive extraction;

New tab to display trophy info (trophy type, name, detail and hidden status will be loaded according to the selected language; line selection will trigger a smooth blend animation between trophy avatars);

Hey, I'd just like to make a quick suggestion. It seems that Select All only selects the updates you have decided to check and download. Could you change that so I could select all of my titles and check them all for updates rather than each one manually?

To quote: Another small revision with late additions, bringing PS3 Game List to v1.9.1.

The Linux port of PS3 Game List, based upon v1.9.1, is available for download. It implements most of the Windows version features (minus the platform specific functionality). The OpenSSL package is required (download the correspondent version for your release), and so is the Qt lib (the download link includes base files).

The OSX port of PS3 Game List, based upon v1.9.1, is here, featuring the same app updates (minus the platform specific functionality). Mac OS X 10.5 or up is required, so is OpenSSL (OSX ships with a slightly outdated version, but it should work; feel free to update to the latest release, though) and the Qt lib (the download link includes base files).

The Snow Leopard issues seem to be fixed; haven’t tested on Lion, though. Further releases will sort out any eventual misbehavior.

As usual, feel free to suggest something new, and, if you happen to find any bugs, please report them as well.

To quote: Another PS3 Game List release, bringing it to v1.9. The idea was to improve application usability, based upon the feedback provided by the users.

The Linux and Mac versions are behind schedule; the OSX lib issue is taking longer than I anticipated (and having a virtualized environment doesn’t speed things up either). Hopefully, they will be released soon.

As usual, feel free to suggest something new, and, if you happen to find any bugs, please report them as well.

PS3 Game List change-log and features:

PlayStation 3 Game List Manager / Updater v1.9:

Allows users to hide the extra frames (avatar, video resolution and audio) in order to gain horizontal space and better display standard game info;

Downloaded updates will be prefixed with targeted PS3 system version (e.g. 02.4000_UP9000-BCUS98103_00-UNCHARTEDDF1SCEA-A0110-V0101-PE.pkg);

Additional language support: Spanish;

Fixed issue while joinning files from multiple folders.

PS3 Game List Quick Guide v1.9:

“Game folder”: loads the game info stored at the selected folder/directory (select the folder that holds all data, not the individual game folders);

“Import list from Excel file”: loads a list of previously saved games from an excel file;

“Save changes”: saves all the changes made to the PARAM.SFO files and folders (double click or press F2 to alter game title, firmware or folder name; check the resolution and audio boxes to alter them);

“Rename folders…”: displays the folder renaming options (“Rename folders (ID)” – renames all folders to match the game ID (e.g. BCUS98114); “Rename folders (Title)” – renames all folders to match the game title (e.g. “Gran Turismo 5″ ); “Rename folders (ID+Title)”: renames all folders to ID-[Title]; “Rename folders (user defined)”: renames all folders to a format specified by the user using the tags _ID_ and _TITLE_);

“Replace image…”: displays image replacing options (“Replace avatar” – replaces game avatar with a custom image. The image will be scaled to 320x176; “Replace background image” – replaces background image with a custom image. The image will be scaled to 1920x1080);

“Browse game folder”: opens an “explorer.exe” window pointing to the selected game folder;

“Check for updates”: checks whether the loaded games have updates available;

“Download updates”: adds all checked updates to the queue and starts/resumes the download process (allowing simultaneous downloads; starting from version 1.9, all downloaded updates will be prefixed with the targeted PS3 system version);

“Stops downloads”: interrupts the download process; partial downloads can be resumed at a later time;

“FTP”: the FTP tab allows the user to connect to a server (or a PS3 running one); right click on an item to display the available options (download, delete, rename or load game information). In order to upload a game, connect to a server and navigate to the destination folder. Then, go to the “Game info” tab and right click on the game to display the context menu. Select “Upload (FTP)” to upload the game to the destination folder.

Another small update after a hiatus, bringing PS3 Game List to v1.8. This version main focus is sorting all the issues reported by the Snow Leopard, Lion and Linux users. This kind of matter usually arises when you try a multi-platform approach. Hopefully, all the issues will be sorted out when the respective versions are released (soon).

As usual, feel free to suggest something new, and, if you happen to find any bugs, please report them as well.

PS3 Game List change-log and features:

v1.8

Splits files over 4GB using .666xx fragments for FAT32 compatibility (a file named "filename.ext" will be split as "filename.ext.66600″, "filename.ext.66601″, etc.);

Joins file fragments back into the original file (joining will not be performed if the volume format is FAT32 ; configuration via settings dialog);

Updates will be queued again after a hash test fail (requested feature);
